What does OVG mean in METEOROLOGY

An ON-DEMAND VORTEX GENERATOR (OVG) is a type of flow control system that operates based on the air flow patterns created by vortices. It is used to improve the efficiency of engines and reduce drag in aerodynamic systems.

Vortices are swirling, spinning columns of air or gas that can be caused by either natural forces such as wind, or artificially created ones like those from fans or ventilators. They create areas of low pressure which draw in surrounding air, creating stronger currents.

ON-DEMAND VORTEX GENERATORS use sensors to detect airflow patterns and then generate vortices at specific locations to produce desired results such as increasing engine efficiency and lowering drag. The vortices they create interact with the airflow patterns, redistributing it in more desirable ways.

Using an ON-DEMAND VORTEX GENERATOR can help increase engine efficiency, reduce vibrations and noise levels, provide increased stability during flight and reduce fuel consumption of aircrafts as well as other forms of transportation vehicles due to reduced drag.

You can find an OVG through various manufacturers who specialize in designing and building quality OVGs for different applications such as aerospace engineering, transportation engineering, renewable energy production etcetera.
